Best African agency for climbing and safari
I had a the best time with my team of hikers during climbing the Kilimanjaro. We would not get there without African traits people. All of them are unique, all of them are you friends. They live with/for you, they work for you, they laugh with you all 6 days on the way up. I cannot thank enough... My trip was from 12th of July until 17th of July. Thank you Mr. Stanley, Mr. Babua, Mr. Eli & Mr. Maxi. We owe you.
Then we started with our safari tour in Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater which was extremely beautiful. We had the best driver-guide (Mr. Innocent) who told us everything about animals, Masaai people and landscape.
Thank you again.

Our Family Experience with African Traits:
Traveling as a family with two adult sons, we had an exceptional experience with African Traits from start to finish. During the booking process, the team paid close attention to our individual wishes, implementing every requested adjustment promptly and transparently. Even the price changes resulting from these modifications were clearly explained and entirely reasonable.
The support we received was outstanding—not only during booking but also throughout the preparation phase. From detailed packing lists to practical tips and helpful insights, everything was thoughtfully provided. Upon arrival, everything worked exactly as promised. We were met at the airport in the middle of the night, and our safari guide was phenomenal—highly experienced and eager to show us everything we hoped to see.
The accommodations exceeded expectations, matching or surpassing what was shown in the photos. The hotel in Zanzibar was simply amazing. African Traits had been recommended to us by friends, and we would wholeheartedly recommend them to others as well. Special thanks to the entire team, especially Godfrey for his excellent support and Benjamin for an unforgettable safari experience. This was truly a remarkable and unique vacation.

Once in a"family-time"-Erlebnis - Safari mit unserem Guide Benjamin und African traits
I went on a nine-day safari in Tanzania with my two children (aged 13 and 15).
Godfrey, the head of African Traits, personally helped us plan a great route with beautiful accommodations. He was very dedicated and responded to my messages from Switzerland within hours.
A few weeks before departure, he helped us think of everything important so that we would be perfectly prepared for entry with visas, vaccinations, etc.
From the very first minute, everything went smoothly – the organisation was top-notch, the accommodation was beautifully located and the programme was perfectly coordinated.
Our safari trip through Tanzania was simply unforgettable!
A very special highlight was our guide Benjamin – absolutely professional, incredibly experienced and with a keen sense for nature and animals. He responded perfectly to the three of us travellers with a keen sense of our wishes. Not only did he answer all of our questions with great knowledge, but he also made sure that we were able to see spectacular wildlife – including lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo and even a leopard.
Unlike some other guides, he always respected the animals and never forced anything, which I really appreciated.
As a mother of two children, I felt very safe every second. We were in the Serengeti National Park.

National Treasure
African Traits planned for us the trip of a lifetime and went out of their way to make sure we had an unforgettable experience. The itinerary, accommodations, and food were first rate – exceeded all expectations. They also were flexible in allowing us to tailor our itinerary so that we could hook up with friends one day.
Our guide is a national treasure. He knew just where to go to see the best sites and shared his knowledge and experience with us at every turn. He also made us feel comfortable even in difficult driving situations. We felt so fortunate to be with him, benefiting from his wisdom, for ~10 days.
Asante sana African Traits!!!!

Professional and attentive
Our experience with African traits was great!
We relied entirely on this local agency to organize a week to climb Kilimanjaro and a week of safari. They proved to be highly professional, everything was planned and taken care of in detail. Expert and professional guides with a high level of English. High level accommodation, splendid locations within the parks during the safari and always excellent food.
The care of the guides on Kilimanjaro regarding the state of acclimatization and our general physical condition was also important.
Absolutely recommended!

Incredibly amazing African safari experience!
Godfrey Willy and his team at African Traits are top notch! I’ve visited 6 continents in my lifetime, and the Serengeti safari tour and Zanzibar experience that were planned and carried out by the African Traits team were my very best experience by far! The guide team was well versed and extremely knowledgeable about the Serengeti, the accommodations and amenities were top-notch, and the overall experience FAR exceeded my expectations!
Major kudos to Godfrey and his team! On a scale of one-to-ten, I would give them a rating of 15!

An epic trip with African Traits!
We just came off of a 9 day trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar with African Traits. There were 30 of us! They were wonderful. Our guides were so fun, friendly and knowledgable. We were so well taken care of every step of the way. The accommodations were great and the add-ons such as the balloon ride at dawn over the Serengetti was priceless. Would highly recommend Godfrey and his team!

African Traits did an outstanding job of giving us a genuine safari experience.
African Traits did an excellent job of communicating with us prior to the safari and were willing to answer all of our questions and concerns. While we purchased one of the more high end safaris, we definitely felt that we "got our money's worth". The quality of the lodges, tent camps, food, and guide were beyond what we had expected. We saw most every type of animal and bird we wanted to see up close and personal. We always felt safe and that all reasonable precautions were taken.
